Notes:  I screwed up with Saturday's (would have been Friday's) squat number, it should have been 195 lb from the get-go.  In any event, my form is suffering, and bad form leads to joint pain/injury, so it's time to deload that, maybe by as much as 40 lb so I can start coming up fast again and build some power.  My overhead presses are going slower as well, and I caught myself giving a leg boost to a couple of reps, so I'm going to give 100 lb a couple more tries, then deload that if I'm still failing.  I burned out a lot of my bend-over and squat muscles putting in a vinyl floor on Saturday after my workout, so I skipped today's scheduled workout, planning to just do Tuesday and Friday this week.
